How it works
- 1
Paste or select a clause
Copy from any document, or tap a clause inside a contract you have already opened.
- 2
Read the plain version
The same obligation, stated in ordinary language, without losing the conditions that matter.
- 3
See the implications
What it means in practice, when it bites, and what a fairer version of the clause would say.
What you get
Clause-level, not document-level
Whole-document summaries lose the conditions. Working clause by clause keeps "unless", "provided that" and "except where" intact — which is where the meaning lives.
Consequences, not just definitions
Not only what the words mean but what happens to you when the clause is triggered.
Works on anything
Contracts, terms of service, leases, insurance policies, court letters — anything you can paste.
43 languages
Read an English contract explained in your own language, or a foreign-language contract explained in English.
Plain English FAQs
Does simplifying change the meaning?
The explanation is a translation, not a replacement — the original clause remains what binds you. The app deliberately preserves conditions and exceptions rather than smoothing them away, because those are usually the operative part.
Can I use it on terms of service?
Yes, and it is one of the most common uses. Paste the sections about data, liability and cancellation — those are where consumer terms most often surprise people.
Is this legal advice?
No. It explains what a document says. Whether you should sign it, and what it means under the law of your jurisdiction, is a question for a licensed attorney.
